Every recipe has a story! Jillian told us theirs:“I’m on a 10 day detox cleanse, and have only been eating vegetables and fruits for the past four days. I needed substantial meal that wouldn’t interrupt my cleanse, and this totally worked! It feels good to eat and still be healthy! Have to give props to the employee at Whole Foods who introduced me to brown rice tortillas in order to make this dish into an awesome burrito!” –Jillian

Next, place your brown rice tortillas one at a time into the frying pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.

After the rice is done, place your brown rice tortillas on plates, and add a serving of brown rice along with your sauteed red & green bell pepper medley to each; Serve immediately.

The queen of health & fitness does it again! Check out this amazing Fat-Free Spicy Summer Curry with Chicken or Shrimp recipe sent in by Emma McQueen of London, England; Indulge in this spicy Indian delicacy without reservation, because Emma’s love for healthy & delicious recipes led her to remake this staple ethnic dish in a FAT FREE version! Served with either chicken or shrimp, her recipe makes for a spicy & tasty dish worthy of the Tasty25 Hall of Fame! Show some love by rating & commenting below, we hope you enjoy, and Happy Cooking! – Tasty25 Staff

Every recipe has a story! Emma told us hers: “Curry has been our great nation’s favourite food for years. Sadly, although Indian food is delicious, it is notoriously fattening, with ingredients such as ghee (clarified butter), and other highly calorific additions which are hardly waist line friendly; that’s before even considering rice, poppadoms, naan bread and everything else that comes along for the ride! Being a Brit, of course I love curry too, so it was necessary to come up with a recipe that tasted good, looked good, and was good for you! This curry is an adaptation of a Tandoori, and is full of fresh fiery ingredients such as chilli and cayenne, which are metabolism boosters. Share this with your friends & family, and enjoy!” -Emma

Lay the curry out on a flat baking tray, and put in the oven for 20 mins. (“You can finish it off under a hot grill to achieve that blackened Tandoori smokey taste.” -Emma)

Eat & enjoy!
